Northwest Alfalfa 
Northwest Alfalfa 
Alfalfa should be grown on every farm, and now 
holds an important place in agriculture, especially in 
sections where dairying is carried on. Adaptable 
to every State in the Union. Most failures are trace¬ 
able to low grade or Southern seed. One thing is 
absolutely essential—begin right. Be sure you use 
only Northern Grown Seed that will stand the winters. 
After Alfalfa is once established it lasts for several 
years, yielding three to four cuttings every season of 
the most excellent and nutritious hay, which is readily 
salable at top prices. We highly recommend Northern 
Grown Seed, having found it more dependable than 
Western or Southern Grown Seed. It would hardly 
be possible to say too much about Alfalfa; it is a 
working plant which is changing the destiny of many 
farming sections. 
Alfalfa is the farmers’ government bond. He clips 
off the green coupons three or four times, and leaves 
the original bond intact, indestructible, prolific, the 
prosperity of any community. It is the symbol of 
high social and intellectual culture. In communities 
interspersed with green fields of alfalfa, we find pure¬ 
bred stock and well fenced farms with comfortable and 
beautiful farm buildings. 
Alfalfa is the farmers’ deep tillage machine that 
penetrates deeply into the subsoil, admitting air and 
water, and bringing to the surface stores of plant food 
from below, that would otherwise remain out of reach 
of the plow and cultivator. 
Alfalfa should be grown on every farm. It surpasses 
all other crops in yield, in feeding value, as a drought 
resister and as a builder of the soil. It enhances the 
value of every farm. 
SELECTION OF SEED VERY IMPORTANT 
It is very important to use Alfalfa that is of a hardy 
strain. There is no better proof that a strain is hardy 
than that it is grown in the Northwest, where the 
winters are severe and the ground freezes eight feet or 
more. Alfalfa raised under these 
conditions must be of the hardi¬ 
est strains, and will stand the 
most trying conditions. We have 
again secured a very choice lot of Genuine Northern 
Grown Alfalfa, fully matured, as pure as is possible to 
grow. High in germination, full of seed life, plump and 
attractive. You can sow no seed that will give better 
results than our Northern Grown Seed. See price list.

Grimm Alfalfa 
Grimm Alfalfa has gained a wide reputation on ac¬ 
count of its productiveness, and extra hardiness, for it 
survived winters that killed out many fields of other 
varieties of Alfalfa. Grimm Alfalfa was selected from 
the hardiest plants year after year until it became a 
fixed type of extreme hardiness and vigor. It differs 
somewhat from the other varieties in the crown of the 
plant, being receding, and is therefore protected by the 
surface of the soil. The roots are also fibrous instead of 
having only long tap root. 
This seed is Northwest grown, and Sealed and 
Certified by U. S. Department of Agriculture. Plants 
grown from this seed will endure extreme cold and 
withstand excessive heat. See price list.
